Verdict
SKY BLUE THINKING (NAP) looks to have every chance of landing a four-timer. She included a course and distance success in an earlier hat-trick and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to anchor Adam West’s filly given the ease of her latest success. Miss Bella Brand won over a shorter trip at Ripon recently but Bobby On The Beat is preferred dropping down in class. Ventura Vision can do better back over today’s distance but Hunters Step has plenty to find with the selection.
